Cigar City Brewing is hitting the market soon and we’ve prepared just the event to showcase their crafted brilliance. It has taken some time for them to get their beer here but it’s finally upon us and we couldn’t be happier.

This Tangerine IPA has been years in the making, but it’s ready for its national debut! Introducing The Real Peel IPA, a bright, refreshing, and crisp IPA that uses real tangerine peel to add a citrusy and zesty kick. It’s the real deal.

While this beer will be packaged in 6-pack cans and distributed nationwide, join us on Friday, May 19th to get your hands on some of the first cans available.

Bring a 6-pack home to enjoy in the backyard with the grill going or lounge on our patio while drinking a pint. You cannot go wrong either way!

Celebrate a limited draft and bottle release of the 5th installment in our Funk & Sour Series: Astraea.
A blend of Sour Blondes from four different oak wine barrels with Passionfruit added. Light essence of peach, lemon, pineapple and mango dance under big notes of passionfruit, pleasant Brettanomyces funk, lactic acid and soft oak. A sour beer that will have you longing for the beaches of Brazil.
6.5% ABV, 5 IBUs

We’re releasing Twilight Rendezvous, our Imperial Stout aged in Woodford Reserve Bourbon Barrels! $18 per 22oz bomber. Limit 2 per customer. 160 allocations. In addition we’ll also have bottles of Coconut Telegraph and Insomnium available to go for $18 per 22oz bomber. Limit 1 per customer. Only around 60 allocations for these beers.

For onside draft pours we’ll also be offering two beers in collaboration with one of our favorite local businesses; My Mom’s Pie. We took our saison and blended it with 20% mature golden sour beer and aged it on 2lbs/gallon of unsweetened pie filling. We’ll have Bumbleberry (a mixture of blackberries, raspberries, blueberries and strawberries) and raspberry rhubarb. We’ll also have each of the pies available in 3″ single serving palm pies.

We will have a limited amount of Coconut Telegraph and Insomnium on draft and Twilight Rendezvous available in bottle pours.

Il Porcellino Salumi will be smoking up local pork in the lot with all the fixins! Plates will be available until they aren’t!

Now, the beers… We are proud to bring you the 9th & 10th releases from our Carriage House Series. Each of these beers began as our ‘Large Farva’ Russian Imperial Stout, and have been aging in their respective barrels for over 6 months.

We’ve named the first beer ‘It’s Dark & Hell is Hot’ after one of the finest works of art to ever see the light of day – from the one and only DMX. This bee…r was aged in Whiskey Barrels for months on end, we then added fresh orange peel and vanilla beans to compliment the warm whiskey notes that you’ll find in this beer.

The second release is named after one of the greatest radio shows turned comic book series turned classic 90’s Alec Baldwin movie: ‘The Shadow’. This unique beer was aged with patience in Red Wine Barrels, where we then added pomegranate molasses to round out the layered complexity of the oak.

There will be 90 375ml bottles available of each beer, with a 2 per customer limit. Bottles will be available starting right at noon and aren’t expected to last long.

We look forward to spending an afternoon of eating and drinkiing with you on May 20th, starting at High Noon!
